I love old Hollywood. I enjoyed reading about Rita Moreno and all her struggles and achievements. It was really interesting to learn about the love affair she had with Marlon Brando that was news to me. They had such a passionate love affair, that even in the end of his life you could tell they were still connected.

As I finish this I am left feeling unsatisfied. Looking at the reviews I see I am in the minority in that respect. It started strong with her life in the rain forest, then the big boat to NY, living in the Heights. Then this incredible story turns into hours of namedropping and let's be honest, abuse. I know people are probably here to learn about her and Marlon Brando's relationship. Personally, I'd have rather heard about what she learned in therapy or lessons learned from her relationship with her own mother. Positive and/or negative, how did those lessons shape her into the mom she is with her daughter today?
I commend her for her honesty and I don't begrudge anyone who loved this book for what it was. I simply wish there had been a little something more.
